Topic: EOS-1 Announcement Q2 2014? [CR1] (Read 19006 times)

A new pro bodySuggestions of a new EOS-1 body to be announced in Q2 of 2014 have surfaced. No detailed specs have been given for the camera, which shouldn’t be shocking this far out from an unveiling. Before the announcement, the EOS-1D X will receive a price drop and the new EOS-1 body would come at a $2000 premium. One would expect it to have a large megapixel sensor at least.

The camera wouldn’t ship until well into 2014. Apparently this information is being passed around to select “pro” dealers.

A Q2 announcement would fall in line with the World Cup in Brazil as a testing ground.

Q2 of 2014? Really? Same time as the 7D MK2 is rmoured to be outed. Yet no lens announcements Just in time for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, so it might be worth keeing an eye out during the matches for any "new" lenses, like the 200-400 was trialled in anger at the Olympics last year....

Should hopefully bring down the 1DMK4 to a more affordable price, so that might be a viable alternative to the 7D2 if the 7D2 isn't in the shops by August 2014 so I can shoot lots of wildlife. Fingers crossed
